BONNICI - PAUL (ex-director, Paolo Bonnici Ltd).
Eighteen years ago we had to part
Yet you remain
Still in my heart.
The day we met, I can't forget,
The day God made you mine.
If love could have saved you
You'd never have died.
No one knows my loneliness,
No one sees my tears
Nor does this heart
Want them to know
It weeps while they're asleep.
If I had one lifetime wish,
A dream that could come true,
I'd pray to God
For yesterday and you.
Among the tears
And the heartache
One thing makes me glad...
You chose me to share with you
Those wonderful years.
May the Lord grant you eternal rest. Fondly remembered and sadly missed. Your wife Hilda.
BONNICI - PAUL. In loving memory of a much loved father on the 18th anniversary of his death.
Time may hide the sadness
Like a smile may hide the tears,
But memories hold you dear
Despite the passing years.
Deeply missed and remembered with love, your daughter Simone.
BONNICI - PAUL. Treasured memories of a most beloved father and grandfather, today the 18th anniversary of his death.

You made come true
For all the love we found in you
We will be forever thankful.
Remembered with much love, Ray, Carmen, Vanessa and Raymond Jr.
BONNICI - PAUL. In loving memory of our dear father on the 18th anniversary of his death.
In meadows of green grass
He lets me lie
To the waters of repose
He leads me;
There he revives my soul.
We miss you so much. Forever in our thoughts and prayers, your daughter Katherine, husband Pierre and grandchildren Roberta and Keith.
BONNICI - PAUL. Everlasting memories of a beloved father, today the 18th anniversary of his death.
Life still goes on for us,
But our hearts still ache.
No one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you
And we miss you still,
For ever since you died
Seventeen years ago
Your place no one can fill.
Our love and prayers
Are all we can give,
These you shall have
As long as we live.
Never forgotten by your son Paul, his wife Joanna and grandson Paul Anthony.

I look at your photo
And see your smile
I smile back and remember
How much I was loved.
I read an old poem
One of many you taught me
I cherish them dearly
Remembering you near me.
You were the laughter
You were our life
A boisterous household
A joy to your wife.
So till again one day we'll meet
I look at your picture
And look at your smile
I shed a tear and say a prayer
I whisper I love you
And I will smile again.
